• A sewer line is the primary drain that carries
  household waste to a septic tank. If the sewer
  line becomes clogged, then the waste may back up
  into your sinks and toilets.

Sewer Line Clogs

• Debris formed by flushing sanitary napkins, food
  and other waste can clog a sewer line.
• Tree roots can grow large, and block a sewer
  line. Eventually debris collects over this area,
  which worsens the problem.

Miniature Camera

• It is possible to inspect inside a sewer pipe
  using a miniature camera. This can reveal the
  location of the clog.

7
Sink Auger

• The professionals use a tool similar to a sink
  auger, but it is power assisted and clears sewer
  blockages.
• Sewer line clogs are also removed using jets of
  high pressure water to wash away debris.

8
Copper Sulphate

• Professionals suggest using chemicals to control
  tree roots.
• Flush copper sulphate down the toilet to kill
  tree roots.
• The roots eventually decompose, but it may take
  weeks or months for them to wash away.
• This may not be allowed in some areas, as copper
  sulphate can damage the useful decomposing
  bacteria in a septic system.
